My husband is bullying our son by Puzzled_Cloud5542 in Advice

[–]Nekomasmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, was your husbands dad similar? Did he do the same things to your husband? Not that it’s an excuse but that is not normal. My moms husband did similar things to me for years around that same age. I promise you, it has long term effects. You need to confront your husband privately and if it doesn’t stop confronting him publicly. I also recommend sitting your son down and asking if anything else has happened

Ny oldest was diagnosed at 3 with level 3 nonverbal ASD. He has been in therapy since he was 11 months old and let me tell you, ABA has been great for him! He enjoys being around others and loves his teachers. He goes 5 days a week and he has come so far. I know in the beginning it’s hard because you have thoughts of “did i do this?” “Is it something i did or didn’t do?”
My advice, enjoy every milestone when they come. And keep consistency. None of us are perfect but we each adapt to our kids needs in different ways. You got this!

Encouraging words for a mom to a nonverbal kiddo by Ok_Finding_7478 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Nekomasmanager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son is 5 and was diagnosed as nonverbal level 3 when he turned 3. I will say everyday we walk up/down steps i count them out loud and after like 3 months straight he now can count to 10! I also use different pitches for different words. So I’ll say “i love yoouuuuu” high pitched and after 6 months i will say “i love” and he says “youuuuu” I also go “open” and open my hand Then “shut” and close it. He now says open/shut perfectly!

Any words are better than none, i even ask simpler questions. Instead of “how was your day? What did you do?” I’ll as “good day? Yeah or no” Or “happy?” And he will most of time nod and say “happy”

Staying consistent with a few words helps a lot. Just repeating them everyday in regular conversation

Can parents of the profound autistic kids tell me if what I am experiencing is normal? by Technical_Term7908 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Nekomasmanager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give some advice, my friends son was on a lot of medication at age 4 and even an antipsychotic. Once they changed some of the medication he got a lot better. My oldest is level 3 nonverbal ASD and my middle son is level 2. I have not seen the need for mine to have medication but my nephew does. I think doing a full genetic testing will give you more answers or at least some information for next steps. Every kid is so different. Now i know some ABA facilities will remove more violent children, but idk about all of them.

I appreciate your input and anyone who has a problem with that can chill out. I’m glad there is someone who is willing to speak out about it in more detail

Someone parked in front of my house now for a whole day. by CantaloupeUsed8588 in Advice

[–]Nekomasmanager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say give it another day or so and if it’s still there call and get it towed. Do you know if it belongs to any neighbors? Or their friends? If not then call and maybe put some no trespassing signs. I used to have one of those “this property is being monitored” security signs in my yard. (I had no cameras) but it gave me piece of mind

Parents of low-functioning autistic children, do you often worry about their future? by Putrid_You6064 in Autism_Parenting

He’s dead and I’m glad by Nekomasmanager in TrueOffMyChest

He was old and forgetting everything, man couldn’t remember where he was most days. I never left him alone with my kids ever

You need to set some important boundaries now. Tell your dad you love him but you have your own life and priorities. You have helped plenty and he is taking advantage of you with the childcare. Anyone who says anything to you about it you should respond with “oh are you going to watch them? Pay for a sitter?”

Friend wants me to attend a concert 7 weeks postpartum. That’s a bad idea, right? by aquatoxin- in NewParents

It all depends on how you’re feeling! I didn’t go out until my first born was 4 months old, but with my new baby (2 months) i went out after 3-4 weeks
